GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

But from where would the backlash come? I wouldn't expect there to be much except from the minority of the most bitter Demons fans (I think many here, myself included, would wish Mitch all the best whatever he decides to do in the future). Not that I wouldn't be a little bit further heartbroken by such a scenario. The wider footballing world surely wouldn't give a fig.

Backlash probably wasn't the right word but the media would be all over it and some people would been questioning him about hesding to another club.. Just think if he slotted back in at the dees he'd be less scrutinised

Agreed, but given the mental health background it would be pretty low for the media to hound the guy over loyalty issues. In fact, such is the MFC hatred that prevails in most AFL media circles they would probably congratulate Mitch for taking himself away from the "toxic" MFC environment.

 

I like all here would love to see Mitch run out on the the MCG with the Dees next year. Though if this is not to happen i would hope that Mitch would at least provide the MFC with the chance to trade him to Freo or to where ever he intends to go, rather than just walking off to another club and leaving the Dees down a top 20 pick and no compensation. I believe he is a decent enough person to look after the dees as far as he can.


I can't handle all this speculation!!

Call Mantherapy. They have a way of dealing with this.

How much of a shot in the arm would it be to have the forward line we had thought we'd have at the start of this year for 2015: Clark, Hogan, Dawes, Kent, JKH and Howe.

An unfortunate sequence of posts.

The same 6, I postulated as our forward line next year. If only.

The MFC and Mitch Clark agreed to a mutual termination of the players contract. Financial details were not to be made public, as agreed to by both parties.

He is not on our list!

Source?

I have this: "Clark will remain on the Demons' list for 2014 before being delisted at the end of the year, although Mahoney would not be drawn on the financial settlement surrounding Clark's contract – labelling it "inappropriate" to discuss at the time."

Incorrect.

Gerard Whateley & David King both checked with the AFL & he's definitely still on our list, It was mentioned on AFL360.
 

So he's on the player list until list lodgement day but isn't contracted to the club as his contract has been terminated?? Is that what's going on here??

I am not sure that is the case either. I believe we came to a settlement of this year's obligations.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
